IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
 IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and
excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
 IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the volt age differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
 If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seizure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to alert the user to the ignition relay malfunc tion when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
FRONT WIPER PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop position by a front wiper stop position signal.
When a front wiper stop position signal is in the conditi ons listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 seconds activation and 20 seconds stop.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/ R “Data Monitor” that displays “BLOCK” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.

turned OFF while the front wiper is operating at LO or HI speed.
 The wiper is operated at LO speed until the ignition switch is turned OFF if the fail-safe con- trol is activated while the front wiper is set in the INT mode and the front wiper motor is op-
erating.
 Return automatically wiper to stop position when ignition switch is turned ON if fail-safe con- trol is activated while front wiper motor is operated and wiper stops in the other position than
stop position.

IPDM E/R
IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
 IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and
excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
 IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the volt age differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
 If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seiz ure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to
alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
FRONT WIPER PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop positi on by a front wiper stop position signal.
When a front wiper stop position signal is in the conditi ons listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 seconds activation and 20 seconds stop.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/ R “Data Monitor” that displays “BLOCK” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.

NOTE:
 The details of time display are as follows.
- CRNT: A malfunction is detected now.
- PAST: A malfunction was detected in the past.
 IGN counter is displayed on FFD (Freeze Frame data).
- The number is 0 when is detected now.
- The number increases like 1 → 2 ··· 38 → 39 after returning to the normal condition whenever IGN OFF →
ON.
- The number is fixed to 39 until the self-diagnosis results are erased if it is over 39.

B2098 IGNITION RELAY ON STUCK
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006220179
 IPDM E/R operates the ignition relay when it receives
an ignition switch ON signal from BCM via CAN com-
munication.
 Turn the ignition relay OFF by pressing the push-butt on ignition switch once when the vehicle speed is 4 km/
h (2.5 MPH) or less.
 Turn the ignition relay OFF with the following operat ion when the vehicle speed is more than 4 km/h (2.5
MPH) or when an abnormal condition occurs in CAN communication from the combination meter (Emer-
gency OFF)
- Press and hold the push-button ignition switch for 2 seconds or more.
- Press the push-button ignition switch 3 times within 1.5 seconds.
NOTE:
The ignition relay does not turn ON for 3 seconds af ter emergency OFF even if the push-button ignition switch
is pressed.
